If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down to the worlds that are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Deep inside the ether's air
I'm taking a lift and you're taking the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water cos I think i'm gonna burn (x2)
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take
If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down to the worlds that are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Deep inside the ether's air
I'm taking a lift and you're taking the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water cos i think i'm gonna burn (x2)
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water cos i think i'm gonna burn (x2)
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take
This is a nice mess, i don't feel so lonely (x2)
